Abstract [en]

On 27 May 2003, NOMESCO and NOSOSCO arranged a seminar on Sustainable Social and Health Development in Stockholm. The seminar was a follow-up of a project in 2002 where NOMESCO & NOSOSCO drew up a set of proposals for Nordic Indicators concerning Sustainable Social and Health Development. In 2003, these proposals were followed up by a production of statistics on the proposed indicators.

Both the proposals and the statistics were presented at the seminar, supplemented by some more specific topics that all had relevance to a sustainable social and health development. In this report, the main background papers from the seminar are presented.

These include:

Christer Eriksson, Ministry of Health and Social Affairs, Sweden; Nordic indicators seen in relation to the international collaboration.

Seppo Koskinen, National Public Health Institute, Finland; Well-being in relation to health.
